FYI, might want to try a #50 cotton piecing thread, like the 1200 yard spools ("Coats and Clark" I think). Polyester thread is really not made for piecing. It can stretch and break on a larger quilt. This cotton 1200 yard spool is $5 at JoAnns with a 50% off coupon. I have light grey, dark grey, tan and black. That will cover ANY color you need to piece. Save money trying to match when piecing different colors and save that for the poly, decorative thread. Remember, the higher the number, the THINNER the thread...50wt cotton is thinner than a 40wt poly.
